Thank you all; now if it will translate into sales i'll really be ecstatic

I first cut this pattern about 4 years or so (maybe a bit longer) ago and had intended to make it into a clock for my shop. However, the clock hands broke during a move between shops and so it isn't up on the wall as such. However, after starting my own woodworking business last year, I reached out to Grampa asking if i could sell products made from the same pattern. After gaining his approval, here's the first one to go up on my website: Motorcycle Clock by Scott Baker, on Flickr

Thank you Kevin, I'll keep that in mind

I started as a member here a couple of years ago and then stopped visiting while I built out my new shop here at the house in 2022. The build process finally ended back in October 2023 and I decided then to start my own business (Timeless Sawdust Memories LLC). With that said, I sold a couple of music signs made from Steve Goode's patterns and a few more from a military book i purchased. I am trying to teach myself how to use Inkscape through the YouTube videos out there but it has been a painfully slow process. If I find patterns here I want to use, I know I should reach out to that person and ask if I can sell products made using that pattern (I WOULD NEVER SELL THE PATTERN ITSELF). However, what should I do if that person doesn't respond to me because they aren't here anymore or some other reason? Can I just proceed on and make the product or forget about it and find another that a person will talk to me? And for the record, I haven't tried yet but am just trying to make sure I do right by people.

Thank you all

Thank you much Spirithorse; I spent the weekend on the motorcycle riding through Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana before getting home in Ohio. Even visited the National Corvette Museum and Land Between the Lakes

My friend and I finished the Honor Guard Gun Cabinet about three weeks ago but couldn't load it onto their bus until yesterday. Gun Case Exterior by Scott Baker, on Flickr Contains a drawer per person Gun Case Interior by Scott Baker, on Flickr I had to use the flash on my phone so the gold lettering didn't turn out as well but the bar sitting in front of the guns to hold them in place says MAY WE NEVER FORGET ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL.

The entire cabinet is still not quite ready but these are now assembled and waiting to be mounted to the doors. Finished Plaques by Scott Baker, on Flickr

Couldn’t find a workable pattern for them to match the others. We are under a time crunch to finish the cabinet and technically they are still a part of the Air Force so they are covered for now.

A few weeks ago, the guy whose garage I share for my motorcycles and the wood shop asked if I would like to help build a gun case for the honor guard supporting the local VA hospital/Cemetery. While working out the plans, we decided to include each service's plaques so I began cutting them on the scroll saw. After a slight change to the design, I then decided to add the POW-MIA plaque and finally finished cutting it today. I'll start the finishing work to these then mount them to the cabinet doors and will post up the final pictures if anyone is interested once we are completely done with it.

Howdy. I think I understand what you mean Dan except I'll need to go the other direction as the bike will be a standalone piece where you see the comments of the GS Motorcycle: Brown County Clock Design 2 by Scott Baker, on Flickr I'll play with it some more taking your suggestions into account. I've been riding down around your area a few times

Like BrianA, I downloaded and started playing with Inkscape after watching Travis' videos. I'm working on the design phase for my next project - a clock - for a motel owner who has been very good to our motorcycling forum for the last 14 years. I want to have two of our old Suzuki GS model bikes at the base of this model that I will cut on the scroll saw. Using a picture of my 1981 Suzuki GS550T as a template and trying to follow the instructions in lesson 5, I came up with this so far. Could you all review both the picture and the PDF with the focus on giving me pointers to make this better? Do I need to maybe use a picture without the tank bag? Again, the intent is that these will be a cutout that I can glue or otherwise attach to a base so that it's viewed as being parked. Also, how much detail do most of you try to get into with something like this? Is there a point of it being too much? too little? Here's the original picture and the PDF version of my first attempt is attached Stillwater river 13 Sep 2015 by Scott Baker, on Flickr Test GS Scrollwork Inkscape Drawing.pdf

I used the Amazon table as a starting point then adjusted things to include adding the scroll work; their table had "boxes" made from the same material as the hamper which I changed to actual drawers. The door in front of the two interior shelves is my idea and yes, they were level when I checked them in the shop. I originally wanted to put a lock on it but that died off when I saw the execution didn't work as well as my thoughts. It is made from red oak with a piece of 1/4" walnut ply behind the larger scroll work on the hamper door. This is like the one I started from: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Changing-Laundry-Storage-Baskets/dp/B005OSHTXO/ref=sr_1_5?crid=618ETNX4U6BL&dchild=1&keywords=kinbor+baby+changing+table&qid=1634613470&sprefix=kinbor%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-5

My daughter asked me to build a changing table on 1 August after the one she bought from Amazon broke as they started to assemble it. Of course I said yes but couldn't start it until mid-August and so spent anywhere from 4 to 10 hours a day in the shop. I wasn't able to finish it before my granddaughter arrived on 1 Oct but I finally delivered it last night. There are 28 mortise and tenon joints, 4 sets of hand cut dovetails, and 6 scroll work pieces adapted from Steve Goode's patterns (daughter asked me to use fairies in the design). There's also a LED light in the back with a dimmer so they doesn't have to use the overhead light at night.

Very nice

Wow such detail and patience. Very impressively done

I purchased Lou, my Paint Mare, in 2006 at the age 6 or 7 - previous owner was unsure of her age. For the first year we had some rough times as she was barely green broke but soon we had some wonderful rides together. When my eldest daughter and her family came into my life in 2008, she too developed a great relationship with my horse but experienced her own issues (bulging lower disc in the back after a fall from Lou) with her. When we left Colorado for Ohio in 2012, Lou stayed behind until we could get into a better financial position and finally joined us here in 2017. Unfortunately, we learned that she had developed Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Cancer) in her left eyelid which is a common problem with Paint horses that have bald faces like mine. I wasn't able to afford the surgery at Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital so we decided to try other medications that ultimately did not help matters. After some aggravating and heart-wrenching thought and discussion, I decided that Lou would be euthanized and so Monday, yesterday, she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge onto greener pastures. With much thanks to Grampa for his efforts, I made this memorial for my eldest so she could keep something of Lou (I have my halter and saddle). The picture is of my eldest's last rodeo with Lou this past August while the horsehair is a lock of Lou's mane. Charmayne Picture of Lou by Scott Baker, on Flickr I'll give the frame to my eldest when she comes back out this next weekend as I didn't put the last pieces on until tonight.

Grampa, The project itself is not done but I wanted to at least show you how the scroll work turned out. Thank you very much again for your help. I'll post a better picture when I'm done with it early next week

Okay thank you. I will work on the one for my daughter and let you know how it works out

Thank you Grampa, I'll start making this one for my daughter. Would you be willing to do one for me using the top picture?

Thank you all; she started crying when she saw it this morning

I bought Lou, my Paint mare horse, in 2006 and have been through hell and back with her (have some scars to prove it too). Additionally, my eldest daughter, who I adopted in 2017, has ridden her since she entered my life in 2008 and taken some abuse as well (has a bulged lower disc in her back from a fall). However, we both have some fantastic memories of our rides with her and though the pictures on the computer will help, it's not nearly enough in a way. Due to a cancerous growth in Lou's eye that has worsened dramatically over the last year, we have decided that it's time for her to cross the Rainbow Bridge into the next life. I am still working out the timeline with the Vet on when we are going to do this but it will most likely be in the next two weeks. We would like to make a couple of memorials that will include some of Lou's tail and/or mane. Additionally, I would like to ask if someone can try to make patterns from these two pictures of my daughter and I so that I can hang one in my house as well as give the other to her. I know these aren't the best of pictures but they are the best ones of us that I have on the computer. If someone would be willing to make some for me, I'm more than willing to pay for your time. However, If I may request one favor, would you please only include the fence lines as the background as the rest of them (truck and trailers in one and people/building in the other) are more noise than anything.

That looks great; I'll have to go find that pattern

Steve Good just posted this project a few days ago and I figured what the heck, I'll make them for some family members back west. Although they are done as of tonight, I won't be able to get them to the post office until maybe Thursday morning so they'll be late. I did use up some scrap though that wouldn't have seen the light of day for awhile.
